I also use it for Java, some time ago I've fetched sources for lots of
the eclipse plugins themselves using Eclipse. So I had something like 40
or so projects in Eclipse for Java. Didn't seem to be a big issue, but
Javasupport is rather "old" in eclipse, so I'd expect it to have gotten
a lot more performance/memory-leak fixes...

It'll take its time for sure, I haven't imported it for some time now (I
think the last bigger project was kdepim, which took something between 5
and 10 minutes on my high-end hardware) Also after the initial parse
it'll probably take quite a lot of memory because we haven't switched to
a memory pool. The memory allocated during parsing is often smaller
chunks so you'll suffer from fragmentation. But after a restart of the
IDE the memory usage will be drastically less.
